A pumice stick is an important cleaning tool to have around the house. The most common surfaces a pumice stone is used to clean are hard water stains in sinks, tubs, and toilets, and also in ovens for any buildup.
Here's how to clean with a pumice stone:
Choose the right pumice stone: You can find pumice stones in different shapes and sizes, so choose one that's appropriate for the surface you want to clean. For example, a smaller pumice stone might be better for cleaning a bathtub or sink, while a larger one might be better for cleaning a pool or outdoor surface.
Wet the surface: Before you start cleaning, wet the surface you want to clean. This will help the pumice stone glide more easily over the surface.
Wet the pumice stone: Wet the pumice stone with water. You can also add a little bit of dish soap or a cleaning solution to the pumice stone if you want.
Start cleaning: Gently rub the pumice stone over the surface you want to clean. Use circular or back-and-forth motions, applying light pressure. Be careful not to use too much pressure, as this can scratch or damage some surfaces.
Rinse and repeat: Rinse the surface and the pumice stone frequently to remove any debris or residue. Repeat the process until the surface is clean.
Dry the surface: Once you've finished cleaning, dry the surface with a clean towel or cloth.
Note: Pumice stones should not be used on delicate surfaces like wood or polished marble, as they can scratch or damage the surface. Always test the pumice stone on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't damage the surface.
